The newly grouped Marines, after having landed to catch their breath after their furball re-load and take back to the skies to finish out their patrol.

Aside from the setting sun and the thin tendrils of smoke from the downed Wraiths, the desert is calm, and eerily silent.

Returning to base the ground crews hop to and work to perform the needed maintenance on teh birds as the pilots are helped down out of their mecha.

[07:32:28] 2nd Lt. Alleria first thing she does after locking down her mecha is run towards the showers planning on getting a nice one to get a shower waddling towards the building.
[07:34:43] 2Lt. Madresa locks her own mecha down, looking around and stretching out, smiling as she sees Alleria running for the building, and moving along a little less quickly, herself.
[07:35:23] Lt. Jaron yawns and stretches as he walks off the landing zone.
[07:35:46] Lt. Ishida performs her post flight checklist and moves from plane to plane to DL the combat logs to her data pad.
[07:36:17] Lt. Fallnya first thing she does is hand her report and passes it off to Suki "After dinner i want to run a check on the armory out of curiosity to see what, they have"
[07:36:30] Lt. Fallnya: "Care to join me?"
[07:36:55] Lt. Ishida: Very well.
[07:37:21] Lt. Jaron heads to clean up himself
[07:38:07] GM: The shower facilities are within one of the Horizon Bunkers and the water is warm and plentiful.
[07:39:25] 2nd Lt. Alleria chucks her stuff near her locker so she can wash it and wont for get it grabbing her towel she puts it on a rack outside the shower and jumps in while the waters cold to let her body cool while the water warms
[07:40:26] CWO Amdahl listens quietly after locking down the Beta's controls, smiling a bit and heading for the showers as well.
[07:41:11] Lt. Ishida makes her way to the mess tent and selects a piping hot meal of Corned beef hash and makes her way off to the top of the CP/TOC bunker and eats her meal there, while she compiles the reports and logs.
[07:43:13] Lt. Fallnya does the same and sits with Ishida "I feel i must apologize to you for the past few days."
[07:45:53] Lt. Ishida listens to Fallnya, after having scooted over to allow her room to set her tray down. Suki is still in her CVR although the bracers have been removed and her sleeves rolled up, and her helmet is to her side, and she wears the soft cover.
[07:46:39] 2Lt. Madresa tosses herself in a shower, ducking a little to fit in the stall, and soaping herself down.
[07:47:21] GM: Aylanea can feel that she is …. being watched…
[07:47:23] Lt. Fallnya is still in full CVR her self including the gloves as she didn't feel like taking them off yet
[07:47:38] 2Lt. Madresa: (( eek ))
[07:47:38] Lt. Jaron eventually makes his way to the mess to get some grub
[07:48:04] 2Lt. Madresa looks around a little in the showers, frowning just a little bit and peering around slightly.
[07:48:09] 2nd Lt. Alleria pokes Madresa in the back "Need help with the back again?"
[07:48:33] GM: Who or whatever it was, is gone now Ay
[07:50:01] 2nd Lt. Alleria moves over behind Madresa and pokes her in the back "need help with the back again hun?"
[07:51:39] GM: A couple of the other female troopers roll their eyes and snicker as Alleria offers to scrub the larger pilots back
[07:52:25] Lt. Jaron gets a little bit of everything on his tray and takes a seat to himself for now and tests it all before eating the decent food.
[07:52:56] GM: It isn't like the food aboard the Yuki, which is phenomenal, but it will do
[07:54:08] GM: all done?
[07:54:24] Lt. Fallnya munches lightly "You not gonna comment?"
[07:54:37] Lt. Jaron is stuffy his face and obvious to much else right now
[07:54:58] Lt. Ishida: You haven't said anything yet.
[07:55:27] Lt. Fallnya: (oh my bad)
[07:55:57] Lt. Fallnya: "Im sorry for being a stinker duing th elast mission, its my nature and i guess i view you as a rival."
[07:57:30] 2Lt. Madresa blushes at Alleria and laughs a little bit. "Be good…" She scritches the smaller girl's hair, and settles under her shower head, relaxing as she showers.
[07:58:19] CWO Amdahl pauses at the showers, realizing there are a lot of people there, and steps back, shying away from being around too many people while she does it. She turns back for mess finally, deciding to come back later in the night.
[07:58:32] 2nd Lt. Alleria takes a puff ball and begin rubbing Madresa's back in spots she cant reach
[07:59:10] Lt. Jaron gives Sarah a waves as she enters the mess
[07:59:15] Lt. Ishida looks up from her data pad, there is a few bleeps from it as it works to accomplish the command that Suki input. "Lieutenant. You have the potential to be a fine officer. You would have to be blind not to see the talent. But, as you say, it is your nature that you struggle with. And that is nothing I or anyone else can readily help you with."
[07:59:30] 2 Lt. Komillia: [1d8] => [5] = (5)
[07:59:37] 2 Lt. Komillia: ((wrong button))
[08:00:37] Lt. Fallnya: "I know just felt i should apologize to you case most of its directed at you, any way ive said my peace I'm gonna head on to the armory to begin taking a look, I'm curious if they have some of the newer missiles down here."
[08:00:52] 2 Lt. Komillia finds some spare bits and pieces, particularly looking for some chains. After accomplishing this, she finds a nice open and unused spot to begin practicing her kata.
[08:01:14] Lt. Ishida: Lieutenant, you have said your piece, I have not said mine. Sit. Please.
[08:01:57] Lt. Fallnya sits back down.
[08:02:06] 2Lt. Madresa coughs and blushes a little bit, as she soaps the rest of her body, with hands and puff ball. She makes sure she reaches everywhere and everything, getting it all soaped up before rinsing it under the cool water of the shower. Parts of her body certainly, uh, perk up at that. She smiles down to Alleria, moving to help scrub the smaller girl's back. "Wonder what all is gonna happen later on or tomorrow…"
[08:03:09] CWO Amdahl smiles and waves back as she's waved to, heading through the line and getting whatever is available that doesn't look too disgusting. She wanders over towards her squadmates with it once she has it, moving to settle in at the table.
[08:03:19] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "No idea but giving the flight lead, prolly more patrol."
[08:03:21] Lt. Ishida rests the pad down and leans forward and looks Fallnya square in the eyes for a few seconds. "You are reckless, tactless, and lack self control. In short, you are dangerous.
[08:04:18] Lt. Jaron takes a bite then asks shortly asks Sarah "You holding up ok here?"
[08:07:15] Lt. Fallnya: "Yes, but if i may use our Admiral Hunter as an example, wasn't he as well?"
[08:08:34] Lt. Ishida: He was young, and learned very fast, much like you must, what it takes to be a leader.
[08:09:01] Lt. Ishida: And if you do not learn these attributes fast, we will pay the price for it.
[08:10:46] Lt. Fallnya: "I will do so or die trying without taking you all with me."
[08:12:13] 2Lt. Madresa nods just a little at that. "Suppose so. Still, can't hurt to be doing it. Unless they catch us unaware when we can't see them." She shrugs a little.
[08:12:15] Lt. Ishida: I will take you at your word. And I offer my assistance where-so-ever you need it, but take heed not to rely on me. It is your command."
[08:12:54] Lt. Fallnya: "How ever i am considering you as my second."
[08:13:05] Lt. Ishida: That is your prerogative.
[08:13:09] CWO Amdahl blinks up to Jaron and shrugs slightly. "Doing well enough. Just waiting for the next patrol or emergency call."
[08:13:37] Lt. Jaron nods and takes a drink "You catch a shower yet?"
[08:14:02] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "True, least we get caught with our pants off like those jerks did to us"
[08:15:55] CWO Amdahl shakes her head slightly. "The showers were a little busy at the moment, I'm going to catch one later if I can, before we head up again."
[08:16:03] GM: A few troopers watch with interest the kata performed by Komillia
[08:17:03] Lt. Ishida finishes her meal and saves her work then makes her way to the showers, pausing to watch Komillia practice as well for a moment before continuing on.
[08:17:03] Lt. Jaron nods "If you feel uncomfortable….I can stand guard for you"
[08:18:21] Lt. Ishida removes her armor and heedless of the showers occupants steps under the soothing water, her more, eastern upbringing allowing her to feel comfortable in a public bath.
[08:19:26] Lt. Ishida nods at Airbags and Jailbait as she lathers up
[08:19:50] 2nd Lt. Alleria wraps up with a towel and leaves as shes finished drying off.
[08:20:02] 2 Lt. Komillia speaks to any unwatchers, "Unless you want me to call you voyeurs, I believe the word is, scat or ask me to teach you."
[08:20:49] Lt. Fallnya makes her way to the showers nodding at Komillia and continues to the showers grabbing a bag from her fighter so shes got a uniform change and undergarments
[08:21:00] GM: A few laugh and move on, a few, clearly off shift continue to sit and watch as they eat, clearly enjoying the show.
[08:21:11] 2Lt. Madresa nods to Alleria and sighs. "Yeah…" She follows along as she finishes, toweling herself. "Don't want to get caught again. Which reminds me, I need to go check on something possibly…" She ponders a moment.
[08:21:43] CWO Amdahl laughs and shakes her head. "That's perfectly all right. I'll get through it, I'm just shy around people I don't know, sometimes, that's all."
[08:22:11] Lt. Ishida brings her CVR plates under the water once she is clean to rinse them off and sets them aside for later drying.
[08:22:17] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "Alright…" *she puts on some undergarments and a robe on "I'm gonna go wash my uniform then and sit in the lounge room till i fall asleep
[08:23:21] Lt. Jaron nods to Sarah "alright, just have to watch out for my mate"
[08:23:40] 2Lt. Madresa smiles and nods just a little bit. "All right. Sleep well." She smiles to Ishida and Komillia, gets dressed enough to get a fresh uniform, and heads off for the barracks to get one on.
[08:24:32] CWO Amdahl nods to Jaron and finishes her food, nodding quickly. "Right… " She hrms. "Wonder if it's more freed up now…" She smiles. "I should probably go check, and get myself washed up, if it is."
[08:25:01] Lt. Ishida after she has showered and preened herself she watches Komillia until Fallnya is finished so that they may poke a look at the armory.
[08:26:12] Lt. Fallnya finally arrives and takes a quick shower and primps her hair up again and gets to puts her fresh uniform on
[08:26:17] Lt. Jaron nods to Sarah and finishes up himself, ready for a nap
[08:27:29] CWO Amdahl smiles to Jaron, and heads towards the showers again, peeking in, then peeling herself down when she sees more familiar people there, heading in and getting herself showered, smiling to Suki. "Hi there."
[08:27:53] Lt. Jaron he heads to the barracks
[08:28:20] Lt. Ishida nods to Sarah as they pass each other, one going in the other out and blushes slightly at the proximity. "Hello Sarah-chan."
[08:29:01] 2 Lt. Komillia finishes her routine then proceeds to the showers. "Hey, all."
[08:29:33] Lt. Fallnya nods passing the two giving Ishida a see you at the Armory wave and heads that way pulling a notepad out of her bag shes gonna drop off at her fighter again.
[08:29:58] CWO Amdahl smiles to Suki happily, making sure her love has room to move, smiling to Fallyna and heading in to strip down and get herself nice and showered up.
[08:30:07] Lt. Ishida: Komillia-chan, Sarah.
[08:30:20] Lt. Ishida nods to you in turn by way of saying goodbye
[08:31:09] Lt. Ishida follows after Fallnya, at an even pace, her armor kit over her shoulder in a ditty bag.
[08:31:29] 2 Lt. Komillia strips, and finds an empty stall. She enjoys as much of the water as possible.
[08:32:08] Lt. Fallnya tosses her bag into her aircraft and continues on to the Armory.
[08:32:11] GM: These are the episodes folks want to see in Anime, 30 minutes of pure fanservice…
[08:32:34] Lt. Ishida follows suite.
[08:32:46] 2Lt. Madresa is, meanwhile, getting herself dressed once again, smiling and adjusting for a bit of makeup in a silly girly kick. She laughs softly at herself, then makes sure her hair is straight, wandering back out with her armor in a bag, wearing her nice, tight uniform.
[08:34:00] GM: The armory is co-joined with the Motorpool and is guarded by two marines in VR-041's
[08:34:12] 2nd Lt. Alleria washes her uniform and other stuff she had dirtied before the other arrived.
[08:34:56] Lt. Fallnya nods to the marines "Any problem with my self and Lt. Ishida taking a look at the armory gentlemen?"
[08:35:16] UEEF MP: No ma'am, just need to see some ID.
[08:35:31] Lt. Ishida shows her ID
[08:35:34] Lt. Fallnya shows her id
[08:35:53] UEEF MP: Very good then.
[08:36:03] UEEF MP opens the gate to the armory.
[08:36:14] CWO Amdahl showers happily, making sure to run her hands over every curve as she soaps herself down and rinses off. She enjoys plenty of the water, and pulls her armor in to wash it out as well, smiling and shampooing herself then, eyes closed. She finally finishes up after enjoying the shower, her duty uniform forming around her as soon as she's dry. She looks about then, wandering out and heading for the Beta, intending to sleep in it.
[08:36:30] GM: Inside you see row upon row of missiles, racks of small arms, a few cyclones, and other assorted munitions
[08:36:30] Lt. Fallnya pulls out her datapad and walks into the armory nodding and goes to look for the missiles and ordinance
[08:37:02] Lt. Jaron makes it to a bunk and gets some zzzz
[08:37:47] Lt. Fallnya takes a look at their listing of warhead types and tracking system
[08:38:09] GM: All told there are some 352 Short Range missiles of varying type, along with 32 Medium Rnage missiels and 24,000+ rounds of 78mm
[08:38:51] GM: There are also some odd field computer looking things that you two have never seen before.
[08:40:59] Lt. Fallnya curiously begins tinkering with the computer [1d100] => [87] = (87) vs 89%
[08:41:18] Lt. Fallnya: (>.> seems my dice are gona play hell tonight to)
[08:41:48] 2 Lt. Komillia finishes her shower, and starts grooming herself. (Wardrobe and grooming vs 58%,)[1d100] => [56] = (56)
[08:41:53] GM: http://www.robotechresearch.com/picture_archive/Mospeada/Other/Other_equipment/large/Other_equipment_10_large.jpg
[08:44:09] Lt. Ishida scratches her chin 'Bio-Emulator? Hmm, wonder how it works." She picks up the manual for it that is in the crate for it and then presses the ON switch.
[08:44:39] GM: Sarah, as you walk to the beta you pick up a large and powerful PC source
[08:44:47] GM: From behind you
[08:45:11] Lt. Fallnya: "You sure we should be tinkering with it?"
[08:45:32] Lt. Fallnya shrugs tho and goes back to looking at the warheads and their tracking systems.
[08:45:35] GM: The device just hums with a power output graph showing it as active.
[08:45:50] Lt. Ishida shrugs and switches it off.
[08:46:15] GM: Just as suddenly the PC source disappears.
[08:46:26] CWO Amdahl jumps up and whirls around, blinking quickly and slapping her helmet back on, trying to see if anyone has a radio on other than her. "Did someone just start up a fighter?"
[08:46:34] CWO Amdahl pauses. "And then turn it off again?"
[08:47:22] GM: All the fighters are on the LZ in front of you, all dormant.
[08:48:46] CWO Amdahl scowls, and wanders in the direction of the armory then, sighing. "Okay, not one of ours. But it can't be one of theirs either, because the cloak would hide it…" She shakes her head, looking at all the fighters again.
[08:49:24] GM: Sarah you enter the Motorpool and can see some techs at work, others asleep, two Marines in VR…yada yada
[08:49:51] LT. Magna: brb
[08:50:26] Lt. Fallnya: "Well i think I've got my notes." *she turns to Suki and smiles*
[08:52:04] CWO Amdahl digs out her ID for the Marines, rolling her eyes and glancing in the direction where she saw the trace. She pauses though, shaking her head and settling in. "I'll wait and ask when they get out…"
[08:52:51] GM: perc Suki and Lu
[08:52:58] Lt. Fallnya: [1d20] => [10] = (10)
[08:53:00] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+3] => [16,3] = (19)
[08:53:34] GM: Suki, you feel a presence…a presence you haven't felt since…..last night.
[08:53:52] Lt. Ishida looks over and sees Sarah and smiles, and waves her in.
[08:55:46] LT. Magna: bk
[08:56:16] Lt. Jaron enjoys his power nap
[08:56:20] CWO Amdahl walks into the armory and looks around a little bit, holding up her ID for the guards to see as she passes. She looks around a little bit. "Hm. Someone hide something big in here? Thought I saw a fighter start up and shut down…"
[08:57:11] Lt. Fallnya: "Nah must have been that Bio-Emulator" *she points to the box like contraption near Suki
[08:57:19] 2Lt. Madresa wanders about the base grounds, heading for the lounge herself. She'd sleep on her bed, but she wants to wake up if something happens, after all.
[08:58:44] 2nd Lt. Alleria soon as Madresa arrives she finds her small Tirolian friend asleep on the lounge couch still only in her robes but her uniform folded neatly in front of her along with her boots
[08:59:01] CWO Amdahl laughs and looks over at it. "About jumped out of my uniform when I sensed it, wondered if it was an unauthorized launch or something. Nice." She shakes her head and looks around then.
[08:59:50] 2Lt. Madresa awws very softly as she sees the little girl asleep on the couch, slipping to an empty chair and settling into it, to relax and sleep sitting up on.
[09:00:23] Lt. Fallnya: "Hey Chief, would you be willing since Ishida does all the flying for you two to use something like these?" *she points to a not very often seen missile style.*
[09:01:19] CWO Amdahl peeks at the missiles, raising her eyebrows at them. "Depending on the design, we usually only got the common missile types in the resistance…"
[09:01:57] GM: There are very few TV guided missiles, about 4, but, the only thing capable on base of using them are the Silverbacks, as the Alphas and betas do not have the hardpoint mounts
[09:05:06] CWO Amdahl peeks at the missiles and frowns, looking them over. "Well, unless the bomb bay can be adjusted, or we get pylons for them somewhere…" She shakes her head. "Don't think they'll fit otherwise."
[09:13:41] Lt. Jaron wakes up after his nap and takes a stroll around the inner base wall, enjoying the cooler evening

As the three ladies of the Yukikaze rummage thru the armory, and the others marines go about their nightly activities, the camera pans back swiftly and far, to the clear desert night. Some 100 miles away, a cold wind blows, sending tendrils of windswept sand into the air. Suddenly there is a rush of wind and the dunes crest is pushed to either side as the low flying form of a Wraith passes over the sandy terrain, mere meters off the deck.

As the Wraith levels off beside it the eerie form of more fighters come into view, their ebony hulls glinting in the moonlight, a total of eight of them, and combat speed. Ahead of them the subdued lights of Point R.

Inside a Silverback some 45 miles outside of FOB Bastogne, serving as a forward observation post the tarpaulin and camo netting is blown off the dormant vehicle as the 8 Wraiths scream overhead.

What the hell was that!!!???

Enemy Fighters hard low! Call it in CALL IT IN!!!

In the CP/TOC LCpl Anji Summerwind, one of three on the graveyard shift lounges feet up reading the latest Hustler magazine, ogling a pair of Praxian hotties as the raid blares to life.

Outrider 4 to Home plate! Outrider 4 to Home plate! You have inbound hostiles, unknown number, fuckers are hugging the deck and moving fast!!! How Copy?!

Anji's eyes bulge and she drops the porno mag and lurches for the radio set.

[11:35:58] GM: Jaron, your missiles go active, and their engines engage, but, they do NOT clear the tubes!
[11:36:08] CWO Sarah: (( hee hee hee ))
[11:36:40] GM: Alleria, you may act while Jaron shits himself
[11:37:30] CWO Sarah: (( lmao ))
[11:37:47] 2nd Lt. Alleria tries to finish him off while giving the other fleeing bastard an owwie at least 2 missiles at each with her MM-20s. [1d20+3] => [5,3] = (8)
[11:38:08] Lt. Jaron radios "malfunction, must be from the sand"
[11:38:25] Wraith tries to blast those pesky missiles out of the air
[11:38:27] Wraith: [1d20+6] => [1,6] = (7)
[11:38:33] Wraith: Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[11:38:41] GM: Roll damage
[11:38:53] Lt. Fallnya: (and his buddy or is there only 1 left?)
[11:39:04] GM: Jaron, um, buddy, roll and RSI
[11:39:08] GM: or a perc, your choice
[11:39:19] Lt. Jaron: perception [1d20+2] => [6,2] = (8)
[11:39:43] GM: You have about 15 seconds to do something or that entire missile bay is going to detonate
[11:40:05] 2nd Lt. Alleria: [(2d6*10)*2] => 160
[11:40:11] 2nd Lt. Alleria: [(2d6*10)*2] => 160
[11:40:17] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (2nd one is for any friends he has with him
[11:41:25] GM: The Wraith previously hit by the guns detonates, the other takes them like a champ, but is hurt badly.
[11:41:53] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (lu's turn?)
[11:41:59] GM: yes
[11:42:07] Lt. Jaron transforms and tries to get the shoulder bay open as he hovers slowly down to the ground.
[11:42:07] GM: but once Jaron makes his action we go there
[11:42:46] GM: Lu state your action, Jaron, how do you extricate the missiles, the bay doors are open…
[11:42:50] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (ok was just gonna see if she noticed his predicament and could help is all)
[11:43:07] GM: bay doors are open, but the missiles never left, you can see smoke and fire from the bay
[11:43:29] Lt. Fallnya: (what about the nose of the missiles in his bay?)
[11:43:31] GM: perc rolls Suki, Sarah, and Lu
[11:43:41] Lt. Jaron tries to pull the whole tube out that it was in
[11:43:47] Lt. Fallnya: (you said the engines did ignite which means there partially out any way
[11:43:47] Lt. Fallnya: [1d20] => [20] = (20)
[11:43:50] GM: the warhead…the naughty bit?
[11:43:57] GM: the part that will own you?
[11:44:20] Lt. Jaron: (launch tube)
[11:44:44] GM: Lu, you see Jaron in dire straights, his shoulder pod is ablaze, the venting mechanisms are doing their best but you know they wont hold, that bay will go very very soon of not dealt with
[11:45:11] Lt. Fallnya: (fire retardant missiles?)
[11:45:19] Lt. Fallnya: (she has 4 in her head unit)
[11:45:41] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+5] => [7,5] = (12)
[11:45:56] GM: Suki does not notice the peril
[11:46:27] Lt. Fallnya: (also how close is he aka within .5 mile?)
[11:47:47] GM: he's close
[11:47:49] GM: Sarah, perc?
[11:47:56] CWO Sarah: [1d20+1] => [7,1] = (8)
[11:48:05] GM: You don't see shit
[11:48:29] GM: Okay, so, Lu, roll your strike on the baddy if you will, or, if you so choose, save your boy toy
[11:48:53] GM: But Sarah, you did hear his comm traffic
[11:49:14] GM: albeit it is vague
[11:49:27] Lt. Jaron is gently falls at he frantically tries to remove the launch tube
[11:50:00] CWO Sarah blinks a little at the radio traffic. "Sounds like Jaron is having a problem of some kind…"
[11:50:12] Lt. Fallnya: "Hold still Lt. Jaron move your arms!" *her missile pods open on her shoulders as she fires a pair of dumb fire fire retardant missiles, one into each of his missile pods [1d20+12] => [7,12] = (19) (dumb fire if i recall according to your rules i use my strike + any skill bonus)
[11:50:12] GM: what missiles are you packing? plasma?
[11:51:24] Lt. Jaron: (Just heap)
[11:51:52] GM: [2d6*10] => 70
[11:52:12] Lt. Fallnya: (any way 19 to lob 2 Fire retards into his missile pods to stop the fires
[11:52:14] GM: As your FR missile hits the pod there is a detonation as the round within begin to cook off
[11:53:25] GM: As this unfolds, Sarah, it is your turn
[11:54:56] CWO Sarah fires two missiles at the final Wraith, frowning and considering the reports of the situation, glancing back once in a while at the thought of it.
[11:55:01] CWO Sarah: [1d20+3] => [11,3] = (14)
[11:56:39] Lt. Jaron grumbles as the impact makes an explosion (perception [1d20+2] => [13,2] = (15))
[11:57:06] GM: a 20 roll under your int stat
[11:57:26] Lt. Jaron: [1d20] => [5] = (5) vs 12
[11:58:40] GM: Jaron, you remember that Sarah, had an issue JUST like this during the Battle for Trinity Station
[11:59:06] Wraith: [2d20+4] => [7,1,4] = (12)
[11:59:28] GM: Either way it messed up Sarah, roll damage
[12:00:10] Lt. Jaron tries to fire all the missiles in that launcher out into the sky
[12:00:11] GM: Her solution was to dump the launcher, i.e. fire off all the unaffected missiles so that when those that are stuck do blow, they wont take the others with them
[12:00:12] CWO Sarah: [(2d6*10)*2] => 120
[12:00:42] GM: The wraith explodes!!! the damage it took earlier plus what you just did pops it,
[12:00:45] GM: roll Jaron
[12:00:55] GM: plain 20, no bonuses
[12:00:58] GM: just don't roll a 1
[12:01:00] GM: please
[12:01:01] Lt. Jaron: [1d20] => [2] = (2)
[12:01:04] GM: please don't roll a 1
[12:01:10] GM: good enough!
[12:01:20] Lt. Fallnya: (are you trying to jinx him?)
[12:01:26] Lt. Jaron: (he was)
[12:01:59] GM: You flush the tubes clearing the bay, and the last three missiles pop one by one (lu, you might wanna back off)
[12:02:12] GM: [2d6*10] => 90
[12:02:14] GM: [2d6*10] => 70
[12:02:15] GM: [2d6*10] => 30
[12:02:28] Lt. Fallnya: (wasn't close enough only .5 mile which is a few 100 ft
[12:03:36] GM: The upper arm and shoulder of your Alpha are blow clean off and you are tossed to the side as the remaining damage is vented away from the hull.
[12:04:15] Lt. Fallnya after the explosions she flies in grabbing whats left of the alpha "Jaron, can you hear me?"
[12:04:45] Lt. Jaron radios "I'm fine, next time thou; don't fire missiles" and rights himself with leg thrust
[12:04:51] GM: Stat wise, Upper arm =90 Shoulder = 100, total damage done 190
[12:05:54] GM: Everyone else might not have seen the detonation happen, but there is a loud boom and Jaron goes off line for a few seconds.
[12:07:15] Lt. Jaron radios to all "By the way everyone, thanks for noticing"
[12:07:52] Lt. Fallnya: "Sorry i was hoping the foam would put the fires out." *she begins to carry he alpha or whats left of it back to base. "Hitman flight continue patrol"
[12:08:08] Lt. Ishida: Roger that.
[12:08:38] Lt. Jaron can fly by his own power
[12:09:39] GM: yes, he can, can even transform, but the arm/pod is missing
[12:09:57] Lt. Jaron flies back in battloid mode
[12:10:05] GM: Roger that
[12:10:34] GM: As you and Lu land, with the rest of the team on patrol….hehehe
[12:10:48] Shadow: [1d20+5] => [3,5] = (8)
[12:11:11] GM: Suki/Sarah 1-2. Alleria/juggs 3-4
[12:11:15] GM: [1d4] => [3] = (3)
[12:11:31] GM: Airbags, you get a missile warning!
[12:11:51] GM: And just as you do an AIM-120esque missile flies right over your cockpit
[12:11:51] Lt. Jaron transforms into guardian mode, sluggishly at the landing zone
[12:11:54] 2Lt. Aylanea swears and pulls into an evasive maneuver.
[12:12:18] Lt. Ishida: Hitman 1-1 We are under fire!
[12:12:37] Lt. Ishida: Airbags, break left!
[12:12:41] 2Lt. Aylanea: Dodge: [1d20+18] => [16,18] = (34)
[12:12:59] 2Lt. Aylanea tries to break left and evade the missile as quickly as possible.
[12:12:46] Lt. Ishida throws her Legios to the right
[12:13:09] Lt. Fallnya lands as well in guardian popping the canopy and moving over to his popping his to check on him "Hitman actual, stay together ill be back shortly." *she makes a visual check right quick over him then backs down
[12:13:56] GM: Alleria you first
[12:14:30] Lt. Jaron looks to Lurana "Im fine. I guess there was a reason I've never had a station in the desert. Sand causes problems"
[12:15:04] 2nd Lt. Alleria looks for it visually and scanning with her Sensors trying to pick up where the missile came from [1d20+1] => [9,1] = (10) perc [1d100] => [59] = (59) vs 50%
[12:15:31] GM: You cannot see much but the smoke trail from the missile, it leads towards the east
[12:15:56] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "Trail is east i cant pick it up"
[12:16:47] Shadow: [1d20+5] => [1,5] = (6)
[12:16:54] Shadow: (grr))
[12:17:02] GM: roll percs
[12:17:12] 2nd Lt. Alleria: [1d20+1] => [4,1] = (5)
[12:17:22] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (ish to busy daydreaming
[12:17:25] CWO Amdahl: [1d20+1] => [7,1] = (8)
[12:17:38] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+5] => [3,5] = (8)
[12:17:46] 2Lt. Aylanea: [1d20] => [15] = (15)
[12:17:52] GM: Thank god!
[12:18:04] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( lol ))
[12:18:32] GM: Ay, you see a pinprick of light 30 miles to the east, looks like an explosion
[12:18:49] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( *smacks* ))
[12:19:06] 2Lt. Aylanea blinks up as she sees an explosion, frowning and vectoring. "Explosion to the east…"
[12:19:32] GM: Suki your go (Sarah you are ahead in que but Suki is the pilot so…)
[12:19:46] Lt. Ishida heads east at full after burner
[12:20:07] Lt. Jaron soon exits the damaged alpha and inspects the damage.
[12:20:44] GM: Jaron, you've been in scrapes before, but you've never come back missing an arm before
[12:21:11] Lt. Fallnya: "I still want you to go to medical for full check up." *then climes back into her alpha* "Right now i got 2 semi-nubs and an angry 1st lt up there ill be back soon." *she lifts back off and goes to rejoin the others making a sensor scan to check their position.
[12:21:22] Lt. Fallnya: (RSI [1d100] => [86] = (86) vs 63%)
[12:21:39] GM: Lu, you are out of position for now…it will take you time
[12:22:25] Lt. Jaron sighs and just stares at the stupid alpha
[12:22:52] GM: A ground tech comes up and whistles, 'damn, thats…yeah, thats gonna suck…"
[12:23:12] 2Lt. Aylanea pulls in behind to head for the explosion, pressing the throttle.
[12:23:42] Shadow seeing the two inbound tracks I take aim on the lead one and fire 6 missiles.
[12:23:49] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [19,3] = (22)
[12:23:58] Lt. Ishida: INCOMING!
[12:24:24] Lt. Ishida goes evasive and dumps chaff and flare!
[12:24:28] Lt. Ishida: [1d100] => [95] = (95)
[12:24:29] Lt. Ishida: [1d100] => [33] = (33)
[12:24:36] Lt. Jaron looks to the tech "Got parts or a reserve alpha?"
[12:24:44] GM: Sarah, you can assist
[12:25:44] GM: Parts like that, you'd have to hit up Point R, the tech says
[12:26:06] CWO Amdahl: [1d100] => [64] = (64)
[12:29:00] CWO Amdahl tries to dump flares as well, to get the missile off them.
[12:30:19] GM: moving on, the evasive maneuvering and flare dump from both alpha and beta are enough to confound the missiles in bound.
[12:30:25] GM: Airbags, your turn
[12:30:57] GM: You can clearly see the target now…
[12:31:09] GM: since you saw the missile launch
[12:31:22] 2Lt. Aylanea fires six missiles towards the inbound contact, after visual sighting, locking it in and launching away quickly.
[12:31:25] 2Lt. Aylanea: [1d20+3] => [19,3] = (22)
[12:32:00] Shadow fires a spread of 4 into the incoming volley in an attempt to detonate it.
[12:32:02] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [14,3] = (17)
[12:32:06] Shadow: [1d100] => [50] = (50)
[12:32:25] GM: The missile vollies kill one another
[12:32:27] GM: Shadow
[12:32:56] Shadow: I fire on that same lead aircraft, no way I let some flare dumping punk evade my wrath!
[12:33:05] Shadow: Eat missiles Addict!
[12:33:09] Shadow: I fire 6 more
[12:33:13] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [8,3] = (11)
[12:33:44] Lt. Ishida swears and pops a spread of 4 as well to kill the incoming.
[12:33:47] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+3] => [16,3] = (19)
[12:33:50] Lt. Ishida: [1d100] => [16] = (16)
[12:34:02] GM: The missile vollies kill one another
[12:34:06] GM: Sarah
[12:35:13] CWO Amdahl swears at the next volley of missiles coming in, watching one volley destroy the other, and firing another of her own, six more intended to force the enemy to waste more of their missile payload.
[12:35:16] GM: Jaron and Lu more specifically you can see in the distance the trademark horizon full of explosions
[12:35:19] CWO Amdahl: [1d20+3] => [12,3] = (15)
[12:35:37] Shadow: Oh no you di'int!
[12:35:43] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [20,3] = (23)
[12:35:54] Lt. Fallnya: (and is flying towards it)
[12:35:55] GM: The missiles again kill one another
[12:36:07] GM: Suki
[12:36:12] CWO Amdahl: (( okay, this is gettin silly ))
[12:36:23] Lt. Ishida lines up a gun shot!
[12:36:32] Lt. Ishida: Time to die Haydonite!
[12:36:36] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+11] => [4,11] = (15)
[12:36:51] GM: The rounds do not hit!
[12:38:53] Lt. Jaron yawns as he watches the techs do some work
[12:38:57] GM: Alleria, your actio
[12:39:23] 2nd Lt. Alleria launches a full payload from her mm-20 all 40 of them "Missile munch huh lets see how many you got lefT!
[12:39:25] Lt. Jaron: (haha death to us all)
[12:39:39] 2nd Lt. Alleria: [1d20+3] => [2,3] = (5)
[12:39:40] GM: roll strike Alleria
[12:39:46] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (well shit….)
[12:39:50] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( lol ))
[12:39:50] GM: Your missiles go stupid,all of them
[12:39:54] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( we both missed ))
[12:40:06] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( worse, a natural 1 for me ))
[12:40:08] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "Im out!"
[12:40:10] Lt. Jaron: (just crash into)
[12:36:58] GM: Airbags
[12:38:00] 2Lt. Aylanea lines up her own gunshot then, pulling in on the Haydonite and trying to line up all her guns, for a full on burst.
[12:39:10] 2Lt. Aylanea: [1d20+14] => [1,14] = (15)
[12:39:18] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( *shoots pop out her nose* ))
[12:39:27] GM: roll damage
[12:42:12] 2Lt. Aylanea: ( Nose Lasers [(4d6*2)] => 36 EU-13 [(2d4*10)+30] => 70 Beta EU-14s [(2d4*10)] => 20 )
[12:42:27] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( 126 ))
[12:41:53] GM: that damage is going to your own mecha dear…
[12:42:59] GM: 45 to the main body as the EU rounds cook off in the barrel, both guns are inoperable, the lasers just miss
[12:42:58] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "Dammit why did you shoot us!, HOW DID YOU SHOOT US!" she ponders separating
[12:43:50] 2Lt. Aylanea swears and glances back. "The rounds cooked off in the barrel, dammit… All guns inoperative…"
[12:40:19] GM: The Shadow fires now at the presumptuous Legios that launched 40 at it
[12:40:29] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( lol ))
[12:40:34] Shadow fires 6 at Alleria/Ay
[12:40:35] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [14,3] = (17)
[12:40:39] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( nothing evil to happen for the -1? ))
[12:40:52] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (any chaff left?)
[12:41:43] GM: you have a full load of chaff since you have not used any yet
[12:42:23] 2nd Lt. Alleria fires her chaff off to try and foil the missiles
[12:42:29] 2nd Lt. Alleria: [1d100] => [24] = (24)
[12:43:46] GM: the incoming missiles eat flares and miss you
[12:44:07] GM: Airbags, you blew up your own mecha, Shadow your Alleria your attack
[12:44:08] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (would lu hear this?)
[12:44:13] GM: yes
[12:44:15] Lt. Jaron ponders something and gets on top of his alpha and gets his cyclone out.
[12:44:19] GM: everyone on net would hear that
[12:44:25] GM: The Yukikaze hears that
[12:44:42] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (Alleria has no ammo left)
[12:44:54] GM: then no attacks for joo
[12:44:58] GM: Shadow
[12:45:34] Shadow fires a spread of 6 more at the stricken mecha, kick em when they are down!
[12:45:39] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (what was airbags hitman sign?)
[12:45:40] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [4,3] = (7)
[12:45:52] GM: The missiles go wild!
[12:45:56] GM: Sarah
[12:46:10] GM: Damn all this hassle for ONE damn Shadow Alpha!
[12:46:51] CWO Amdahl: [1d20+3] => [8,3] = (11)
[12:47:08] CWO Amdahl swears and fires six more missiles like she has been doing. "C'mon…"
[12:48:09] CWO Amdahl: (( now watch it dodge or outfire me again ))
[12:48:11] CWO Amdahl: (( lol ))
[12:48:19] Shadow trying to conserve it's missiles launches flares instead
[12:48:23] Shadow: [1d100] => [15] = (15)
[12:48:26] Lt. Fallnya: "Hitman actual to, Hitman 1-1, Status on our Trainees?"
[12:48:28] Lt. Jaron suits up and hops off, going to Lt. Mitchell
[12:48:34] GM: The missiles are fooled
[12:48:38] GM: Suki
[12:48:47] Lt. Fallnya is still flying to the fray
[12:48:54] Lt. Ishida: Finally! A worthy foe!
[12:49:08] Lt. Ishida fires another full gun shot at the enemy!
[12:49:13] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+11] => [1,11] = (12)
[12:49:18] Lt. Jaron: (haha)
[12:49:26] GM: LOL
[12:49:30] CWO Amdahl: (( *facepalms* ))
[12:49:54] GM: [2d4*10] => 20
[12:50:09] Lt. Jaron plans on telling Lt. Mitchell his instincts about a recovering group
[12:50:15] GM: 10 md to the ship the EU-14s are out, the EU-15;s shred and are inop, and the lasers miss
[12:50:31] GM: Airbags
[12:50:39] CWO Amdahl: (( that's just rule of funny right there. rofl. ))
[12:50:46] Lt. Fallnya: "Hitman actual to, Hitman 1-1, Status over"
[12:50:49] GM: I have never seen so many 1's in MY LIFE
[12:51:03] Lt. Jaron: (yea, you all are getting off lucky to)
[12:51:14] 2Lt. Aylanea fires six more missiles, hoping her own missile load holds up for all of this mess, sighing softly.
[12:51:17] Lt. Ishida: Guns inop! chaff 50% expended, missiles , we're in good shape.
[12:51:32] 2Lt. Aylanea: [1d20+3] => [4,3] = (7)
[12:51:34] Lt. Fallnya: "And our trainees?"
[12:51:37] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( waugh ))
[12:51:39] Lt. Jaron: (hehe)
[12:51:51] Lt. Ishida: Still alive
[12:52:15] 2nd Lt. Alleria: "I'm out of missiles!" *pipes up all panicked like
[12:52:17] Shadow fires 4 at the lead Legios (S/S)
[12:52:26] Shadow: [1d20+3] => [11,3] = (14)
[12:52:33] Lt. Ishida: [1d100] => [23] = (23)
[12:52:52] GM: Lu a few more tuns and you are in play
[12:53:03] GM: Sarah
[12:53:53] Lt. Fallnya: "Start falling back bring him to me I'm still got most of my payload"
[12:54:06] Lt. Ishida: Roger that
[12:54:24] Lt. Jaron heads to CP to find Mitchell
[12:54:31] CWO Sarah swears softly as she watches more missiles go past. Too bad it's all she has to work with. She fires six more missiles, checking on how many she has left and sighing.
[12:54:35] CWO Sarah: [1d20+3] => [10,3] = (13)
[12:54:49] GM: Jaron you find the command staff listening intently to the battle chatter of the unfolding fight
[12:54:58] Shadow: [1d100] => [31] = (31)
[12:55:22] Lt. Ishida launches a spread of 8 as she turns towards Lu
[12:55:27] Lt. Ishida: [1d20+3] => [15,3] = (18)
[12:56:05] GM: Oh thank god….
[12:56:10] GM: Shadow is out of attacks!
[12:56:14] GM: all 6 of em
[12:57:54] GM: [14d6*10] => 590
[12:58:11] GM: wow….how crappy, but, enough
[12:58:47] GM: The shadow finally explodes !
[12:58:55] Lt. Jaron moves Mitchell "Sir, I think a recovery team might be needed. There is a completely cut off cockpit of a wraith out, if we can get that might we can get some intel of their moves in this region plus with the malfunctions; they might need a group out there as well"
[12:59:29] GM: On both Legios threat alarms and systems malfunction indicators are blinking like mad making the console look like an angry Christmas tree
[12:59:51] Lt. Fallnya rejoins then to escort them in
[01:00:04] Lt. Ishida: Enemy down, request permission to RTB.
[01:00:10] CWO Sarah sighs and mutters. "At least it wasn't a missile cookoff for us, again."
[01:00:26] Lt. Ishida nods in her cockpit, but says nothing
[01:01:06] Lt. Fallnya: "Return to base, get the techs to look at your fighters, ill assist if they want it, good fighting both teams."
[01:01:25] Lt. Ishida: Roger that, Hitman 1-1 is RTB
[01:01:28] 2Lt. Aylanea: Definitely. Our guns are gone.
[01:01:48] 2nd Lt. Alleria just sits in the back looking like a mad lil hornet as today wasn't her day at all
[01:02:00] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( aww ))
[01:02:07] 2Lt. Aylanea: (( *gives Alleria a cookie* ))
[01:02:12] GM: The team returns to base with no further incident, the event replaying in their mind, one shadow fighter, all that trouble, if this was the face of things to come, the fight for the UEEF would be hard indeed!
[01:02:42] 2nd Lt. Alleria: (think she got 2 assists, and emptied her missiles into the 4 winds

[01:03:25] Haydonite Commander: Lord General, we have lost our Judicator in the Northern Desert, the addicts own the skies there.
[01:04:53] Lord General Volkar: This is not as the Awareness had foreseen. The Addicts have forces in reserve that can best our own. Sortie your task force, eradicate them!
[01:05:17] Haydonite Commander: it shall be done milord!
